The clamping device comprises a first clamp 11 and a second clamp 12 which are used for bearing the battery cell and the protective cover. The first jig 11 moves among the first loading station A1, the first processing station C1, and the first unloading station B1.

In the second feeding station A2, the first manipulator 31 is further configured to feed both the battery cell to be processed and the protective cover picked up at the first blanking station B1 onto the second fixture 12. At the second blanking station B2, the second manipulator 32 is configured to pick up the protective cover on the second fixture 12, and blank the cell that is processed by the second fixture 12 to the finished product station E. In the first loading station A1, the second manipulator 32 is further configured to load both the battery cell to be processed and the protective cover picked up at the second blanking station B2 onto the first fixture 11.

After the cell welding on the first fixture 11 is completed, the first fixture 11 moves to the first unloading station B1, and the first manipulator 31 picks up the processed cell and the protective cover on the first fixture 11, and unloads the processed cell to the finished product station E (at this time, the protective cover remains on the first manipulator 31). After the cell welding on the second fixture 12 is completed, the second fixture 12 moves to the second blanking station B2, and the second manipulator 32 picks up the processed cell and the protective cover on the second fixture 12, and blanks the processed cell to the finished product station E (at this time, the protective cover is held on the second manipulator 32).

Moreover, the first manipulator 31 can pick up multiple groups of cells and protective covers at the same time, and the second manipulator 32 can also pick up multiple groups of cells and protective covers at the same time, so that the production efficiency can be greatly improved.
In the embodiment, the first robot 31 has a first grasping mechanism and a first picking mechanism. The first grabbing mechanism is used for picking up or releasing the battery core, and the first picking up mechanism is used for picking up or releasing the protective cover. It should be noted that the first gripping mechanism may be a clamping jaw structure, and the first picking mechanism may be an electromagnet suction structure.

Then, the second manipulator 32 carries the protective cover and the to-be-processed battery cell to move to the first loading station A1, and releases the to-be-processed battery cell and the protective cover onto the first fixture 11 located at the first loading station A1.
It should be noted that, when the processing system starts to operate, the first fixture 11 and the second fixture 12 do not have a cell and a protective cover, and the first robot 31 and the second robot 32 need to be used for loading, that is, at this time, the first robot 31 needs to pick up a cell to be processed and a protective cover, and the second robot 32 also needs to pick up a cell to be processed and a protective cover.

It should be noted that the sequence of moving the second fixture 12 from the second blanking station B2 to the second loading station A2 and moving the first fixture 11 from the first blanking station B1 to the first loading station A1 is not limited, and certainly, both of them may be performed simultaneously.
And S60, sequentially and circularly executing the steps S30 to S50 until all the battery cells to be processed are processed by the processing device 20 and are discharged to a finished product station E.
In this way, the first manipulator 31 is used to simultaneously discharge the processed battery cell and the protective cover on the first fixture 11, and simultaneously charge the battery cell and the protective cover to be processed onto the second fixture 12, so that the protective cover on the first fixture 11 is transferred onto the second fixture 12 for reuse. Similarly, the second manipulator 32 is used to simultaneously discharge the processed battery cell and the protective cover on the second fixture 12, and simultaneously feed the battery cell and the protective cover to be processed onto the first fixture 11, so that the protective cover on the second fixture 12 is transferred onto the first fixture 11 for reuse. That is to say, the first manipulator 31 and the second manipulator 32 are utilized to realize the recycling of the protective cover between the first clamp 11 and the second clamp 12, so that the situation that the used protective cover needs to be released during each blanking is avoided, the situation that a new protective cover needs to be picked up again during each feeding is also avoided, the time for frequently taking and placing the protective cover is saved, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.
All possible combinations of the technical features of the above embodiments may not be described for the sake of brevity, but should be considered as within the scope of the present disclosure as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, and these changes and modifications are all within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
